The army is taken care of by Zuo Zongtang and Huang Shihai, and Li Zhenneng can rest assured.

Having solved the most fundamental problem, Li Zhen continued to deal with the matter of matches. Li Zhen understands that it is difficult to monopolize the production of matches, because there must be counterfeit goods. But Li Zhen was not afraid, he had too many things in his stomach, and he made a big show of the matches in order to get a large amount of money from them.

Li Zhen went to the match-making factory and walked around, checked all the machines, and made sure that he could produce matches on a large scale, and then returned to Zhennan Wangfu to start preparing for attracting investment.

Li Zhen did not have enough time and energy to run a match shop and planned to develop agents.

He just needs to put the factory in charge of production, and that's enough.

In the study, Li Zhenzheng was immersed in writing. After he finished writing quickly, he picked it up and read it again, only to breathe a long sigh of relief, a smile on his face, and shouted, "Someone! ”

The door creaked open, and an attendant entered.

"Please come Mr. Zheng!"

The soldier turned around and went to inform, Zheng Zaoru quickly came to the study, and said respectfully: "Lord Wang! ”

Li Zhen handed over a stack of rice paper in his hand and said: "This is the plan I wrote about match investment, you take a closer look, it is very interesting, and it can also inspire your thinking." ”

The plan written by Li Zhen is about the sale of matches, and he does not plan to do sales in person, but to develop agents, so he has prepared a planning plan for Zheng Zaoru to implement.

After Zheng Zaoru read it, he looked surprised, and praised again and again: "This small match, but you made the merchant pay as much as one million taels of silver, which produced such a huge value. Terrible! It's amazing! ”

He didn't expect that he didn't sell matches, but he could still do this.

Li Zhen said: "Do you understand how to operate? ”

Zheng Zaoru said: "Understood! ”

"Prepare and implement it immediately, quickly."

"Yes!"

Zheng Zaoru left the study, returned home and carefully planned, after determining the details, Zheng Zaoru sent people to notify the merchants in Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places, and everything that could be notified was notified.

On the eighth day of November, merchants from all over the world gathered in Zhennan Wangfu.

When all the merchants got the news from the Zhennan Palace, they all thought that Li Zhen, the king of Zhennan, had something to ask them to participate. To be able to get in touch with Li Zhen, the businessmen were naturally willing, and they rushed over directly.

In the hall, Zheng Zaoru received everyone.

Zheng Zaoru sat in the right-hand position directly above the hall, and the left-hand position was vacant.

"Mr. Zheng, we have come from afar, where is the king of Zhennan?"

"Yes, I came in a hurry from Shanghai because of an invitation from the Zhennan Palace. When King Zhennan was in Shanghai, King Zhennan and I had a drink together. Ask Mr. Zheng to inform the king of Zhennan, and say that the old man from Shanghai is here. ”

"Go and inform, everyone has their own business!"

……

A group of businessmen coaxed one after another, all chattering, but Zheng Zaoru sat comfortably above the old god. His eyes were unwavering, his expression was calm, and he quietly looked at the merchants in the hall. This expression made the merchants secretly speculate in their hearts, thinking that something bad was going to happen. Gradually, the sound of the quarrel lowered again.

At this moment, Zheng Zaoru spoke: "What is the identity of the prince?" You're not qualified enough! ”

The tone is arrogant, but full of confidence.

When the businessmen in the hall heard this, several people turned red with anger, and they wanted to reason with Zheng Zaoru. However, Zheng Zaoru did not take all the businessmen in his eyes at all. He raised his voice and said loudly: "This is the living room of the Zhennan Palace, not a vegetable market, you don't need to scold the street like a shrew, all cats and dogs talk nonsense, what kind of system." ”

Zheng Zao is aggressive, as if he is a hedgehog with a thorn.

Two sentences, but the hall was quiet.

The stronger Zheng Zaoru became, the more unconfident the businessman became, and they all guessed what was going on.

"Smack! Syllable!! ”

Zheng Zaoru clapped his palms, and saw attendants walking in from outside the hall.

Each attendant carried a plate in both hands, and spread it on the plate with a red silk satin, on which was placed a box of matches. This box of matches is carefully designed by Li Zhen, rectangular shape, simple and generous, and there are exquisite patterns on the surface of the matchbox, which is extremely exquisite. Such a small box, which was no more than three fingers wide and the length of a small thumb, was placed on the red silk, which surprised all the merchants present. After the attendants retreated, a box of matches was placed in front of each merchant.

"Mr. Zheng, what is this?"

"Mr. Zheng invited us all the way here, is it for this little thing? Hehe, if King Zhennan needs such a gadget, I will immediately have tens of thousands of them made. ”

……

The quiet hall was noisy again.

"Ahem! Cough!! ”

Zheng Zao coughed twice, and the hall immediately fell silent. From this, it is enough to see that under Zheng Zaoru's strength, all businessmen dare not be presumptuous. Zheng Zaoru picked up the matchbox placed next to him, pulled out the box, and said: "The matches inside are the focus of this time, and everything revolves around matches." ”

As he spoke, Zheng Zaoru took out a match and gently wiped it on the edge of the matchbox.

"Whew!!"

As soon as the light flashed, the matchstick burned, and the flame remained unchanged.

This change surprised the merchants in the hall.

Many people have opened their mouths, and they can even put a duck egg.

"Whew! Call!!! ”

The merchants in the hall all tried the matches in their hands, and when they realized the convenience of the matches, they faintly had new ideas in their hearts, and when they looked at Zheng Zaoru, there was a trace of expectation in their eyes.

The corners of Zheng Zaoru's mouth were slightly hooked, and she said with a smile: "You haven't seen anything in your hands, I'll tell you about it." This is a match produced by Zhennan Wangfu, and the full name is 'Great China Brand Match'. Everyone here has already tried it, and must have seen the convenience and practicality of matches, and I believe you have also seen its value. ”

"Mr. Zheng, how much is a box, I am willing to spend money to order." A businessman spoke.

"I'm willing to order too!"

"I order more than 10,000 boxes, and I am given priority."

……

The merchants in the hall began to fight for matches and spoke. They are businessmen, and they are not profitable. Now that there is a business opportunity, the competition immediately begins.

When Zheng Zaoru heard this, he shook his head lightly and said, "This time I brought you over is not a separate and scattered sale, but a large amount of sales. There were businessmen from Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and beyond. The purpose of coming to you is to give you a chance to make money, and also to give Zhennan Wangfu a chance to make money. ”

After a pause, Zheng Zaoru said again: "If you have money, everyone earns it, which is the rule of Zhennan Wangfu. You have also seen matches, and if my prince does not inform you, he is fully capable of selling them in Nanjing or even more places alone. The purpose of bringing you here is to open up a financial road for you, to have you to run matches, and to let more people have something to do and solve the livelihood of some people. ”
